Pros

The name really adds more weight to your resume

Cons

Leadership, a lot of miss information and no support. When I left, about 80% of the team also left around the same month. From what I hear the entire team was shut down in the SF office due to high turnover. Also, all the work that was reallocated to other offices caused folks to leave there as well.

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
